 Re: Issues of Pedagogy, and on the lower lip...

After skimming the posts, I'll throw my thoughts in...from an adult new clarinet learner's perspective, and I went to UWEC decades ago as a music ed oboe major (but changed majors halfway through.)

If you can move away from the double lip as predominant embouchure, do so. I started clarinet trying to use a double lip as that is what my lips automatically do...spent four months with a teacher that never noticed but when I upgraded teachers, I was immediately switched to single lip with huge improvements in tone and 'clarinet tonguing' ease. If you feel your lower lip is weak, try taking a tiny coffee stirrer and holding in your puckered lips for longer lengths of time.

Clarinet also feels like requires more air than I'm used to...started using the 'breath builder' with excellent results as it's about both the amount and the control of the air. They are cheap and easy to order online.
